Property Law in Denmark

Property Law in Denmark

The Property Law in Denmark regulates the permission for buying property for non-nationals but also the relationship between the landlord and the tenant and the sale/purchase of real property.

Our attorneys in Denmark talk about the main issues to consider when deciding to purchase property in Denmark and the options for foreign investors.

Purchasing real estate property in Denmark

As a general rule, non-residents in Denmark and those who have not lawfully lived in the country for a longer period of time will not be allowed to freely purchase real estate property. A special permission needs to be obtained from the Danish Ministry of Justice.

Foreign nationals who are EU/EEA citizens may be granted permission for property purchase without a special application if they will use that respective property as their main residence in the country or if they will use the property as the headquarters for operating their sole proprietorship.

The experts at our law firm in Denmark can give you more details about these regulations and can even help you submit the application for obtaining permission to purchase real estate. Foreign investors in Denmark can talk to us regarding any other issues related to investments or purchases in the country.
